56. I think the GOP is loving this.

Sat May 28, 2022, 07:54 AM

May 2022

Dems are arguing among ourselves about how much to regulate, and how to define various technical terms related to firearms. As long as THE ISSUE is gun-control, Reps will gain seats.

GOP was a bit worried when the right to abortion was THE ISSUE. With that issue, DEMS seemed to be heading for increasing majorities in the fall.

Which issue will be THE ISSUE in November? Or will it be something else, like the economy?
